Biomechanical model of swimming rehabilitation after hip and knee surgery.

As a low-to-moderate intensity rehabilitation exercise after hip and knee surgery, we propose a dynamical model of the legs motion through the water medium in freestyle and backstroke swimming. We formulate a general Kirchhoff-Lagrangian dynamics model of the legs-propulsion through the water in post-surgical rehabilitation swimming. We start by defining the two-leg-propulsion configuration manifold.

The role of immunophenotyping in differential diagnosis of chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Introduction: Accurate diagnosis of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) acquires immunophenotyping by flow cytometry in order to facilitate differential diagnosis between CLL and other mature B-cell neoplasms (MBCN).

Objective: The aim of this study was to define immunological profile of CLL cells.

Methods: Immunophenotyping by flow cytometry was performed on peripheral blood specimens at diagnosis in the group of 211 patients with de novo MBCN.

Non-linear dynamics in muscle fatigue and strength model during maximal self-perceived elbow extensors training.

Our aim was to determine the dynamics in muscle strength increase and fatigue development during repetitive maximal contraction in specific maximal self-perceived elbow extensors training program. We will derive our functional model for m. triceps brachii in spirit of traditional Hill's two-component muscular model and after fitting our data, develop a prediction tool for this specific training system.
